I have a suggestion: To encourage new users, let's make an achievement system with achievements like these:

Friends will be friends : Earned after being added as a friend by at least 20 persons
Remixer : Earned after remixing 5 projects
Programmer : Earned after posting a project with more than 20 scripts
Forum Poster : Earned after posting 51 forum posts (tribute to old 50-posts-rule)
Impatient : Earned after trying to post before 60 seconds from previous post
The first is the hardest : Earned after posting 500 forum posts
Super Forum Poster : Earned after posting 1000 forum posts
Thirty there : Earned after uploading 30 projects

Famous : Earned after being on front page 10 times
Talked about : Earned after having 200 comments on your projects

Any other ideas?

Re: Achievements!!!
Sounds like a cool Idea even though I've achieved all but the post 500 comments one already with in my first two months.
When my project was featured more than 20 people added me as a friend 
edit: Now i need to do more now that you added more

My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Re: Achievements!!!
I like the idea... but....
Remixer - You're encouraging remixing? Fine....
Impatient- Lol I like it
That's with a "T" - It should have a different title in my opinion...
Next - It should have a different title in my opinion...
Yeah. But the thing is, does the scratch website have information, from the past, so people who have this don't have to re-earn them (front page). I mean, that would mean archmage would have no front-page reward, which is kinda crazy. And believe me I like that reward.

Nice idea.
By the way, it is not possible to get on the front page twice at once (Popular). Maybe change it to "Has been on the front page twice"?
Lol:
You say that's impossible!

Retired from Scratch, but just the language itself. Not the forums.

Re: Achievements!!!
Achievements are intended to encourage people to use Scratch and develop their skills. Yes, sometimes is may lead to quitting, but isn't the same situation with comments, love-its, front-pagers and stuff?

Re: Achievements!!!
To be honest, I don't think it's good. And most of them are pretty useless (Wow! You've joined the forums!). Why bother?

LOL 
Maybe one, like "Second Thoughts" for removing a project, or "Anti-social" for removing a friend. Maybe "Self-Centered" for adding yourself

How can it tell? You could tag Art, but it could be a game for all they know!

Re: Achievements!!!
Just having 20 scripts doesn't make you a programmer. Look at RHY(numbers) Line project. That is super advanced and only has 1 script.

What about if it uses a variable? An achievement for using a variable?
